Tones send holders crashing

The trend of the Meath SFC title not being retained since Dunshaughlin completed a three-in-a-row in 2002 continues, with Wolfe Tones sending holders Summerhill packing, 2-11 to 0-8, in a quarter-final clash at Páirc Tailteann on Saturday.

The Kilberry side were in control for most of the hour, although the holders managed to be on level terms (0-5 each) at the halfway stage.

Brian Ennis edged Summerhill ahead on the restart but they only managed three converted frees after the change of ends.
